I discovered this when my daughter, Curly Girl, begged me to take her to the Magic Kingdom for her birthday yesterday, informing me incorrectly it was free.

I also heard that a friend of mine tried to take his wife there yesterday, thinking she would be free, and ended up paying $72 admission for her.

So I thought I would pass the information along to those of you who haven't gotten the word.

I'm a bit surprised Disney didn't renew this, considering how many parents, siblings et al got dragged into the park at full price with the freebie. But they are doing a promotion where you can get a free ticket for volunteer service. I guess you could do that and then go on your birthday.
